Say Goodbye to Content Management…As If We Ever Really Knew It

• Centralized, proprietary repositories

• Monolithic systems

• Best of breed vendors

• Dedicated, thick clients

• Document focus

• Licensed software

• Federated repositories

• Services-oriented architectures

• BCS from infrastructure vendors

• Web 2.0-based, rich clients

• Component management

• Alternative business models:- Software as a service

- Open source

The Paradigm is Shifting. . . Has Your Strategy Shifted With It?

1990s-2006 2007 and Beyond

Key Issues

1. How will content management technologies and architectures mature and change?

2. How can organizations best leverage Web 2.0 and other emerging technologies in their content management infrastructure?

3. What approaches can organizations take to satisfy their content management requirements?

Hype Cycle for Content Management, 2007

Basic Content Services: Will Be a Common Element of the Future Workplace

Basic content services (BCS): Basic document library services, imaging, document collaboration, document routing and Web publishing capabilities. Priced for mass deployment.

The mass adoption of BCS represents a significant technical and market discontinuity.

Action Item: Prepare now for BCS in your strategy.

Basic Content Services and ECM

• Enterprise content management systems can work with BCS tools to create a multilayer content solution.

• Users can work in a familiar desktop environment, using BCS as a local/tactical workspace and "parking lot," with content portable to an ECM system.

ECM• Enterprise Taxonomy• Enterprise Information Access• Business Process Management• E-Business Web Content Management• Content Integration• Records Management• Document Composition• Content Transformation

BCS• Workgroup Collaboration• Enterprise/Departmental Portal• Subscriptions and Notifications• Desktop Integration with MS Office• Drag and Drop File Submission• Indexing and Search• Information Worker Productivity

Tools• Web editing and publishing

Top Content-Centric Business Problems

• Loan origination• Litigation support• Claims processing• Case management• Contracts management• Correspondence management• Regulatory compliance• Policies and operating procedures• Project team support• Brand awareness• Employee self service

CEVA is For Process Workers, WEBA is for Knowledge and Web Workers

For information involved with a core business process

• Define business rules, use these in the process/ applications

• Use templates, workflow; automate where you can

• Make IM part of the role/function of process owners and people working in the process

• Train, monitor performance and act on results

Embedded in the business process

CEVA: Content-Enabled Vertical Applications

WEBA: Workplace-Enhanced Business Applications

For information handled by people outside a core business process

• Make information management explicit in requirements for each job/role

• Define simple, usable policies; communicate and support these across the enterprise

• Create truly useful guides, templates, examples

• Make linkages to information management systems easy and transparent

• Train, monitor performance and act on results

Embedded in the employee's job or role

CEVA

WEBA

Collaborative Forms Processing as CEVA

Greater than 75% of business processes depend on forms,and with forms servers, they become runtime and even offlineclients for multiple application databases

• Consumers driving economy• Technology not just for geeks• Consumers adopt cutting-edge

technology first- Gaming consoles drive hardware- PDAs, cell phones,

instant messaging (IM)

• Business adoption follows- Social Networking- IM

• Enterprise to consumer inhibitors - Legal concerns- Privacy concerns- Security risks- Loss of control

Web 2.0

The User Interface Brings Context to Content

• Resumption of client wars

• Two major vendors plus Adobe/Macromedia in between many small players

• Ajax most popular approach

Microsoft OS

Browser Plug-in

Anyone Can Be a Web Publisher: Understand the Benefits and Risks

• Wikis — An alternative to shared-file servers.- Enable shared authorship

- Can contain all kinds of object types (for example, programming code, video, images, and so on)

- Include authoring, collaboration and storage facilities

• Blogs — Open Web authorship to everyone. - Usually deal with transient content (musings, ideas)

- Marketing activity

Consumer-led channels increase users' but reduce enterprise control over content. Risks are multiplied.

Action Item: Establish and enforce governance policies.

Recommendations

Develop a CM strategy before buying technology.

Strongly consider deploying BCS universally to all knowledge workers.

Evaluate how XML-enabled content processes will increase efficiency and deliver business results.

Take advantage of evolving richer user interfaces for content consumption and multichannel output.

Consider hosted models if time and cost are key decision factors.

Examine CEVA opportunities for critical content-centric business processes.

Contra Costa County Case Study: JES2FTP (CASI Software)

Dave CampbellIS Programmer/AnalystAuditor-Controller's Office,Contra Costa County

53

Our Problem

30+ year old legacy G/L system Paper reports taking days to print

and deliver to users Information nearly out-of-date

before it reached our customers! Report distribution costly and time-

consuming

54

Our Solution: Web-based Report Distribution

Legacy reports are now converted to PDF with JES2FTP and posted to our Intranet site

Reports are also emailed to users as attachments or links

55

Intranet site:

56

Sample reports page:

57

Sample report:

Benefits of Web-based Report distribution

Cost savings: 4¢ per page for print vs. ½¢ per page for JES2FTP PDF

Labor savings: no sorting, mailing, filing, distributing, etc.

More timely: printing on paper takes hours - PDF conversion takes minutes

9/21/2007

Benefits of Web-based Report distribution

Process is automatic: PDF reports are ready for viewing by 5am

More functionality: reports can be indexed and searched, and individual pages printed as needed.

Easy Retrieval: PDF reports can be freely copied or printed; “lost” reports can always be retrieved

60

Components of our Web-based Reporting System

JES2FTP: converts mainframe reports into PDF files and FTP’s to our Intranet server.

IIS/ASP: active server pages (ASP) code provides navigation & links to display the PDF reports

Mailer program: emails PDF reports (as links or attachments)

What does JES2FTP do?

Takes reports from the mainframe Standard line report data from JES or sequential

files Converts them to a variety of formats

Text, RTF, HTML and PDF Spreadsheet ready data (Comma delimited, XML)

Split them into sub-reports Save portions to different files and directories

Delivers them via FTP ‘Web-enables’ print contents

63

Step 1: “Split” & post reports

Reports are “split” into separate PDF files

Filename based on report # + date

64

Step 1: “Split” & post reports

JES2FTP Script statements to break reports into separate PDF files and build the filename:
